ABToast

ABToast is a simple A/B Testing app that is developed in django. This app implements the Django Session functionality to achieve the goal.

Installation

ABToast requires Django to run.

Install ABToast from pip

$ pip install django-abtoast

OR, Get ABToast locally

$ git clone https://github.com/htadg/ABToast.git ABToast
$ cd ABToast/
$ python setup.py install

Add ABToast to INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # Django Default Apps
    'django.contrib.admin',
    '...',
    # ABToast
    'ABToast',
)

Add ABToast.middleware.ABMiddleware to the project middlewares

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    '...',
    # Custom Middleware
    'ABToast.middleware.ABMiddleware',
)

Migrate the database and create admin account

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py createsuperuser

Now Create your own new Tests in the Database

Note: You can also create New Experiment and Tests from the Django Admin Panel

from datetime import datetime
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

from ABToast.models import Experiment, Test


# Starting the Experiment from today
start_date = datetime.now()
# End Date for the Experiment
# Experiment runs for two months
end_date = start_date + relativedelta(months=+2)

# Initial Traffic Redirect for the first variant
initial_traffic = 50 # 50%

# Create an Experiment
exp = Experiment.objects.create(name="Homepage Test", template_name="registrations/signup.html", goal="registrations/success", start=start_date, end=end_date, cancelled=False)

# Create two variations of the homepage.
# Currently User can only create two Test instances for a particular Experiment
# which means currently user can run A/B Testing on only two variants of a Page
# One Test for the original template
Test.objects.create(template_name="registrations/signup.html", experiment=exp)

# Other Test for the New Variant
Test.objects.create(template_name="registrations/new_signup.html", experiment=exp)

Now You can run A/B Test on a view

def home(request, template_name="registrations/signup.html"):
    try:
        template_name = request.ab.run(template_name)
    except TemplateDoesNotExist:
        pass
    return render_to_response(template_name)
